Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sunningwell can form part of a wider programme across Oxfordshire.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Construction mastic in Sunningwell
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. If you have old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can help, on sanitary and kitchen joints, internal decorators’ caulk and cladding and panel joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Sunningwell it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Sunningwell, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Oxfordshire. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification, with backing rod in deeper gaps.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it.
Common questions from Sunningwell clients
Is Sunningwell too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Sunningwell are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Sunningwell, such as Wootton Business Park?
Yes, sites like Wootton Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Sunningwell. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes. Share the list and photos, and a fixed quote follows, then clear it to your programme.
Will you stick to the specified products?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Preparation, backing and depth follow the product guidance.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so we’ll ask for the register before work on an older building. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Which sealant the job calls for
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sunningwell
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. Halls, stores and units around places like Sunningwell may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.

New build and refits around Sunningwell
Sunningwell is about 53 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Sunningwell is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
When a college such as Abingdon & Witney College: Abingdon Campus, 1.4 miles to the south of Sunningwell, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Wootton Business Park (1.6 miles west of Sunningwell) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Sunningwell is about 2 miles north of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Commercial clients in Sunningwell use us for work on mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Oxfordshire. 423 places across Oxfordshire fall within our area, Sunningwell among them.

Common problems we fix in Sunningwell
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
Hospital estates such as Abingdon Community Hospital (2.2 miles south of Sunningwell) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
